Updated post from Margie Garrison, Librarian:

“The dean of the Havelock campus of Craven Community College has informed us that the air conditioning system has broken and cannot be repaired. A new one has been ordered and should be available in six to eight weeks.  The library is currently closed but we are intently looking into ways to open with limited hours and limited services. We will let you know as soon as we can.”

Thank you for your patience.

This is a message from Margie Garrison:

As per Luann:

I just spoke to Margie.  She is uncertain about the library opening next week.  I called Havelock City Hall and our book group can use the Board Room to meet Oct.3rd 10:00-11:30 am to discuss The  Stone Angel.  

 I am picking up the next book collection today from New Bern Library.  Claire will be distributing the new book ( Miss Dreamsville and the Collier Co.Women’s Literary Society) and collect the copies of the The Stone Angel.

 We can carry on with flexibility!   Luann

PS  The Stone Angel was not particularly uplifting but it provides a lot of food for discussion. People do face loss that affects the rest of their life.

Thank you Luann for getting this set up for us.

The Havelock Craven County Public Library is still being assessed for damage and must be inspected before reopening.  The hope is that it will be able to open later this week.  The exact date is not known at this time but the staff are doing everything in their power to get our Library reopened.

The Havelock Literary and Crab Pot Society will NOT be meeting this Wednesday, September 26th.  The meeting has been rescheduled to Wednesday, October 3, 2018 at 10:00 am to discuss “The Stone Angel” by Margaret Laurence.  At that time we will receive our next book.  Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding.

ATTENTION

The Havelock -Craven County Library received some slight damage from Hurricane Florence and is not open at this time.  The Newport, Carteret and Pamlico Libraries are open for your convenience.  Thank you for your patience during this difficult time.

The Havelock – Craven County Library will be closed due to the possible impending bad weather until further notice.  Please check back and we will post when the library will be open once the bad weather has passed.

Thank you for your understanding! Everyone please be safe.

Our next meeting will be Sept. 26th at 10:00 am.   The book is The Stone Angel by Margaret Laurence.  If you finish reading the book, please return it.  Mary Ellen and I (and perhaps others) are looking for a copy. Bo has volunteered to lead our discussion.
